WSax-9068: Aethelred II Late Saxon
Hammered Silver Penny - Rarer Mint. B.M.C.
IVa, voided long cross type, AD 997-1003. Spink 1151. +MANNA M`O
EAXE - moneyer Manna working out of the Exeter mint town. A rarer mint and an even rarer moneyer with
very few examples being recorded for Aethelred II B.M.C. IVa
on the excellent EMC database - Wynsige and Dunstan proliferate.
Good provenance - tickets here. Surface stress crack to obverse only. Rare. 
£550 SOLD

WMH-9069: William 1st Hammered
Silver Norman Penny – Rare Mint. B.M.C. VIII – PAXS
type, 1083-86. Rare Exeter
mint. This is the final issue under William 1st
with some current debate as to whether this issue overlaps into the reign of
William II. +LIFPINE ON IEXE. Toned and VF for issue with clear legends. Spink 1257, North 850. Very rare. £1,475 SOLD
WMH-9070:
Rare Mint Henry
II Cross & Crosslets TEALBY Medieval Hammered Silver Penny. Circa 1154-1189. Exeter mint - +ROG[IER
O]N EXCES.
Spink 1337-42 because the diagnostic features which normally give us the
class are not struck up. North has
ROGIER / Exeter as either class A or D.
The excellent EMC database has only two examples recorded - they really
are that rare. One is awful whilst the
other is truly astonishing. It is a
class A so I'm a little uncertain where North get
class D from. Lettering, whilst not as
reliable as the portraits, is another tool - the square E on this coin is very
much class A so circa 1158-63 and Spink 1337.
Old tickets
here which state only one other example recorded - clearly there's been
another since that ticket was written.
Struck on a remarkably round flan for issue, especially considering the
south coast provenance - it is normally only the northern mints of Carlisle and Newcastle that struck on good, round
flans. Good provenance and excessively
rare. £995 SOLD
